Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier texture)
- 8 large flour tortillas (sturdy enough to hold everything)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce (pat dry to avoid sogginess)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (adds melty, savory goodness)
- 0.5 cup chopped onions (white or yellow work best)
- 0.5 cup dill pickles (chopped into small chunks)
- Salt and pepper (to season the beef)
For the Big Mac Sauce
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (full-fat for best flavor)
- 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish (adds classic Big Mac sweetness)
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard (for that signature tang)
- 1 tsp white vinegar (balances out the sauce)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (adds depth)
- 1 tsp onion powder (essential for that familiar flavor)
- 1 tsp paprika (for color and warmth)
Instructions
- Make the Big Mac Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients to allow flavors to meld.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spatula. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until no pink remains and the beef is browned evenly, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat to keep the wraps from becoming greasy.
- Warm the Tortillas: To make the tortillas soft and pliable, microwave them between damp paper towels for about 30 seconds or briefly toast them in a dry skillet. This prevents tearing when rolling the wraps.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat, then spread 2 tablespoons of the Big Mac sauce evenly over it. Add a generous scoop of cooked ground beef, followed by shredded lettuce, chopped onions, diced pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll and Toast: Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Place each wrap seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the wrap is golden brown and crispy, which also melts the cheese inside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice them diagonally for easy eating, and serve with extra Big Mac sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Patting the lettuce dry ensures your wrap stays crisp and avoids sogginess.
- Use 80/20 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and juiciness.
- To save time, the Big Mac sauce can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated.
- If preferred, substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
- For extra meltiness, add cheese slices instead of shredded cheese before toasting.
